Title: How to Pray: Give Us Bread

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

Does prayer work? What can we expect from prayer? How do we pray anyway? Have you ever wondered why the disciples never asked Jesus how to preach or perform miracles – and all they asked Him was how to pray? Prayer gives us access to the very throne room of God. In prayer, we are shaped by the Holy Spirit. In prayer, we talk directly with the King of the Universe. Over the next several weeks, we will consider how Jesus taught us to pray in the Lord’s Prayer. This week, we consider the fourth of six request for bread. What does it mean to pray for bread in a world where some have more than they need and others have empty stomachs.

Preacher: Mr. Jeremy Zoet

We hear from Pastor Jeremy about the youth mission trips in Holland, MI and Philadelphia, PA this summer. As we hear stories of how God was at work, as we hear what the students were passionate about, you are encouraged to think about what you are passionate about. How might these passions lead to a calling from God? How might Moses’ passions in the beginning of the book of Exodus have lead to his calling from God?
